That part would never happen.
Oddly enough I don’t get nauseous in that way.

it’s because there are more than one HOA at Ridgemark and to allow for parking I parked a couple of vehicles across the street where the “other” HOA has jurisdiction….. now they are giving me a hard time about the boat which is parked across from the guardhouse…..

same, with the exception, Javelins could have a six where AMXs came only with eights…
there were two generations of AMC V8s used in the years from 68 to 73..
290, 343, 390 (second Gen)
304, 360, 401 (third Gen)…
Use yer 'magic powers' to discover laws(not ccr's)they're breaking. That'll shut 'em up.
I bought a sailboat but with the Med or Nordic Fjords in mind.
The boat was purchased in Corpus Christi, TX the summer of 2001 - and it was on the trip from there to the Galveston area that I experienced sickness for the first and (I'm thinking the last time). A couple of friends and I departed Corpus Christi at around seven in the evening. There was a strong onshore wind and an outgoing tide that made for some serious chop- weren't even past the jetties when one of them got sick and let go over the side, then in the galley sink, and the trash can, before laying on the port settee (we wound up on the starboard tack once offshore.
The more experienced mariner of my two friends, a professional captain with a 1600 ton/any oceans license, was never affected, but the other guy was sick all night and through the next morning. So we went up Matagorda Bay and made the rest of the trip up the ICW (Intracostasl Waterway).
Myself I did fine for the first few hours because I was at the wheel. But when the other guy took over, and occasionally would ask for items stored up in the v-berth. Cigarettes were the first request, then new batteries for the GPS. After the trip to the bow, with it slamming back and forth in the confused seas, I started to feel ill.
It starts with a reflex want to swallow, then the worse feeling ever- I can't describe it though nausea is one of the components.
Marshall, the pro mariner, advised me to eat, eat, eat-
So I lay on the lee side of the cockpit and ate crackers until the symptoms went away after a few hours-
I will say this that blue ocean really looked good the next morning- would have preferred to have sailed offshore all the way to Galveston if it hadn't been for the other guy still being so sick-
People have died of seasickness- if your body doesn't adjust, you die from dehydration-
Quote by Admiral Nelson who suffered from it - "The best cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree."

So the fact I drove non-stop from WPB to York, PA, wouldn't interest you?
A friend had a Javelin with a 360. He was telling that they might have a Dodge engine or a Chevy transmission or some other similar mix-match-
unless aftermarket, lotsa hogwash….although AMC (like the big 3) borrowed some stuff like rear ends among other things from the “other” US manufacturers (tyrannys were BW) the engines were always AMC….that confusion I believe comes from the fact that when Chrysler bought AMC (mostly for Jeep) they continued to make the AMC 360 (to put in Jeeps) unchanged for 20 plus years…..the other confusion comes with the Ford FE 390 which was big block instead of the AMC 390 small block….only time a different manufacturer engine would have ended up in an AMC product was a GM two rotor rotary that would have been in the Pacer until GM pulled out last minute forcing AMC to shoehorn an AMC 6…
HOAs are a pox on a neighbourhood. Not that it's really anything I'll ever have to worry about with the rapidly dwindling likelihood of ever owning a home, but I still don't like them.
Once saw a '67 or '68 Mustang with a 390. Talk about a cramped engine compartment- also must have had some reinforcement to handle the weight. A friend had a '69 who added some heavy duty shock tower braces at the top because they were starting to bend inward- and his had a 302.
We don't have them in Canada as far as I know. Seems like a lot of restrictions on what you can and can't do with your property.
How about the unfortunately extinct Anchor Brewing Co. Porter?
Yeah, they're pretty uncommon outside of the states, afaik. Apparently as many as many 82% of new homes entering the market are part of HOAs, as the developers write them in from the get-go. John Oliver did a pretty good piece on HOAs in the last year or so.
If we’re going to go that route…..
Torpedo.
But I’d prefer to have some Seattle brews, so I’m sticking with that
